Sea of Thieves. Getting called all the slurs there. Also an incredible amount of hackers (yelling slurs).

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Better yet, what games have the least toxic communities? Games are so much more fun when people support each other and are there to have a good time.
Deep Rock Galactic R&S
FFXIV is very nice in-game, probably the most welcoming and laid-back MMO community
don't go on youtube or its main subreddit or ffxivdiscussion tho lol, they can be pretty vile
The Talos Principle A community who share book tips on existential philosophy and the meaning of life. A theme in the game.
Factorio. The worst criticism you'll get is "your factory isn't big enough, it must grow"
Love the game and the community.
Warframe’s community is delightful.
League of Legends, Dota2
A childhood friend of mine worked as a developer for Riot Games over a decade ago, when League of Legends first became popular. He tried to get me to play it with him, but the community was so toxic, it's the first and only game I ever quit solely because of the community.
If you didn't play specific characters with very specific builds, you were just wasting everyone's time and any losses would be blamed on you. It was really bad.
I love the content and lore that comes from LoL (Arcane, K/DA, etc.), but I can't stand the game itself.
Yeah what I never got was how did they find new perfect builds if you were not allowed to play the game freely to try new things. I mean I known the answer it was data mining but at that point is it a game or a job and you are just going through the motions. What ever happened to GG and you in something you lose some but we all had fun.
Any of the Mobas from their reputations.
Insert Hero Shooter title here:
Warhammer and Warhammer 40k.
Pokémon, just a bunch of people complaining about everything.
Counter strike, GTA 5.
Yup, GTA 5 has a very weird community, only encountered either no interaction at all, either killing players on sight
Warthunder is uber racist, right wing, anti-intellectual but I love jets😭
Same in Gaijins other game Enlisted. You see a lot of Nazi references in peoples nicknames like 88, SS and variations of famous leaders names and it's not uncommon at all to see n-bombs etc in chat.
I guess military games attract a certain crowd? How is that game btw?
Lots of n words in warthunder too, haven’t seen too many nazi references gladly.
I've heard Rocket League can be pretty bad, but I've never played myself.
I've heard a bunch of people complaining about Valorant, but from my experience it was mostly okay (1-2 years ago at least)
Roblox, fortnight
